Dennis Hopper’s art barn and condos sell for US$5M

Much like Dennis Hopper himself, his home had personality. The Venice, Calif., compound belonging to the late actor, artist and photographer flaunted a 5,000-square-foot industrial main house that resembled a tin barn; it was designed by Brian Murphy.

Other features included a pool house, a guest cottage and three two-storey condominiums (fashioned by Frank Gehry) for a total of seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms and 9,595 sq. ft. of living space.

It sounds like quite the sweet pad, but the compound actually sat on the market for two years. Initially, the plan was to sever the property — the art barn was listed at US$3.96-million and the three condos ranged in price from $750,000 to US$1.05-million. But the whole kit and caboodle recently sold for US$5-million, The Huffington Post reports.
